  "description": "In the third year of the war, an unknown number of drones of unknown origin flew undetected for hours over Riga Airport because a special radar was not in place. This radar failure raises concerns about airspace security amid ongoing regional tensions. Latvian security experts have questioned how such a breach could occur given the airport's critical importance. Officials indicate gaps in radar coverage allowed the drones to evade detection for an extended period, highlighting vulnerabilities in current air defenses.",
